Thanks Patrick. The ERA guys sure are on top of things - especially for a small company. I checked out the graphs in the link. Am I interpreting this incorrectly, or does it look like Polymatrix A has a higher coefficient of friction across all temps (100-1300F), versus all of the others, and should be the better choice, unless the wear is significantly worse? But those pads are intended for racing only, and not street use.
